Academic, Educational and Business Books - Blackwell's Bookshop Online

Jutting out into the churning sea, Cornwall has always seen itself as a nation apart from the rest of England – another country not just another English county. It's a place that mixes artistic inspiration and natural majesty in equal measures: heather, gorse and wildflowers blanket the craggy headlands; tiny fishing villages huddle in the lee of granite buffs; cackling gulls and kittiwakes cut ribbons across an open sky. The prize includes two day passes to the Eden Project, one of Cornwall's best known landmarks. The three giant greenhouses – the largest on earth – re-create natural habitats from across the world, from the steaming rainforests of South America to the dry deserts of Mexico and the open savannahs of the South African veld. A lucky winner will receive two return train tickets from London to St Austell in Cornwall, including transport to and from the Eden Project and two nights stay (twin or double room) in a three star hotel. For full terms and conditions see below. For your chance to win this fantastic prize, simply answer the following question: Sorry, competition is not currently open. This competition closes on 27th August 2010. Lonely Planet's weekly inspirational email Seize the Days is there to remind you that the world has endless possibilities. It's full of events that are freer than the breeze, ideas for how you can spend time brilliantly and inexpensive ways that you can see the world afresh. Sign up now	View complete collection
